Tata Motors Invests ₹120 Crore in Freight Tiger to Build AI-Powered Logistics Network

Tata Motors Limited has announced a fresh investment of ₹120 crore in Freight Commerce Solutions Pvt Ltd (Freight Tiger), deepening its commitment to building a digitally connected logistics backbone for India. The transaction was completed on September 30, 2025.

Investment Details and Shareholding

The deal combines a primary infusion of ₹120 crore through subscription to Series C Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (Series C CCPS) and a secondary acquisition of 49,500 equity shares from existing shareholders for about ₹14 crore. With this, Tata Motors’ total outlay in Freight Tiger reaches ₹270 crore, following its earlier ₹150 crore investment in October 2023.

On completion, Tata Motors’ holding is expected to stand between 42% and 46% on a fully diluted basis. The consideration was entirely in cash; no government or regulatory approvals were required, and while the deal qualifies as a related party transaction, since Freight Tiger is an associate, there was no promoter or group interest involved.

Freight Tiger's advanced AI capabilities will create India's first truly integrated logistics ecosystem.
